Navarre was the kingdom by its own justice system, where litigation was judged, and all the documentation of the justice system is deposited in the Archivo Real y General de Navarra. This year the cataloguing of the 19th century litigious processes has been completed and have been consulted.

Ricardo Urritzola goes to the archive in his spare time and during the exploration finds a lot of fourteen verses written to Master Fermin Altxu Beristain, who left six women pregnant. The philosopher Ekaitz Santazilia has analyzed the verses.

Teacher Altxu of Doneztebe / Santesteban left six women pregnant and one of them reported. At that time she had not seen herself well pregnant outside the wedding. In the documents of the trial against the Treasury there are statements by various doneztebe/Santesteban, one in favor of women and the other in defense of the teacher. Instead, the bertso triggers "wonders" of the teacher: "...I was standing in the skin of the males," he ends.

The teacher taught how to read and write to the population, and thus left pregnant women and girls from Donamaria, Donestebe and Pamplona. Finally, Altxu was convicted and sent to Ceuta for eight years.

As for authorship, there is doubt. It was thought that it could be the letter of Real Notary Norberto Goienetxe, and therefore perhaps the verses themselves, but the Basque is not from Doneztebe, but from Guipuzkoan. Santazilia has said that bertsolari is a non-cult writer, but that authorship cannot be known.

Prohibited verses?

At that time the verses were used to communicate among the citizens and to disseminate them orally, and in this case to account for the Altxu judgment.

“When the verses reached the court, it was also common to extend the ban on singing and spreading the verses,” explains Santazilia Bertsoa.eus in the published interview. Maybe that's why they weren't too much in circulation and today we were unknown.

In this case, it has been possible to save the verses, and both researchers have been satisfied, “they give good information to those who investigate the history of the Basque Country”. They have observed that in Doneztebe/Santesteban there may be verses for gipuzkoa and that the Basque country moved a lot at that time. A broader scientific article is now being prepared.
